McKee’s Pub & Grill

Affordable pub with above average pub food and great daily beer specials. Best happy hour in the area. Staff is friendly and attentive. I come here often.

We had a great time with very courteous and attentive service and above average food!

Food was fine. Drinks were good.

Steer clear of thier Mexican food. It’s the most you will pay for subpar quality. Partly it’s my fault for getting Mexican food at an Irish pub.

Good strong adult beverages at a good price compared to the surrounding competition and the deep fried asparagus half off appetizer tasted good. Going to go again soon and sit outside

This place is just okay, nothing special in my opinion. It’s very much a bar for locals and typically has a more mature crowd who frequents the bar. I only occasionally go here for the single pool table.

Great bar food and good drink specials. If u go before 7 on weekdays its half off appetizers. I am a chicken finger guy and they have the best ones around.

Skip this dump. The bartenders are catty, gossip and lie about their customers and they are only friendly to locals. A rough crowd to say the least — plenty of missing teeth, etc. The salads are large and good — I’ll give them that little bit.
I just couldn’t get passed how dirty it was. Also, I did not feel they were OPEN to anyone from different ethnic backgrounds, cities, etc. It’s interesting how intolerable the staff was when the head bartender’s son is in and out of jail and another bartender is gay. I could care less — but who are they to judge where we are from and who we are?
Let the locals rule this place. Students and tourists stay AWAY! Just a bit of advice from a LA girl.

Had lunch here today for my birthday. Heady topper in cans. Had the montrealer and my wife had the falafel sandwich. Everything was very good. We will be back.

Came in for breakfast/​brunch just looking for some good olé pub breakfast. Expectations weren’t very high considering if I wanted a true brunch experience I would have gone to Sneakers Bistro or Magnolias.
The service was a bit slow but expected because the overflow from other places just started to roll in.
We ordered the Vermont Benedict and a ham and cheddar omelet with a side of hollandaise. The food arrived cold and the hollandaise is perhaps the worst I have ever tasted. In top of it all there was a piece of foil from what we guessed was a butter packet in the eggs Benedict. The only saving grace of the meal was the home fries.
Great little dive bar but not worth the trip for food.

We were very pleasantly surprised by this dark, hole-​in-​the-​wall pub. My husband, son and I wanted to grab a quick lunch in a sit down restaurant. I wanted a salad with protein and I needed to find a place that would also have food for my finicky son. Service was excellent. Food was also excellent. My son’s BLT was served on thick slices of wonderful bread, not your typical bread and his hand-​cut fries were a slightly over salty surprise. I admit I ate my fair share. My Chef’s salad over flowed with turkey, ham and roast beef. The cheese was left off at my request and the underlying salad was much more than your average greens it had peppers, carrots and more. I will definitely be back if our son decides to attend UVM.

Local dive bar with bad dive bar food and cheep beer. Watch what you order or risk getting the GI bleed

Great brunch, price is great and love the bloody marys! I enjoy the outdoor seating in the summer.

Best burgers in Winooski, and the best part is it’s only $ 6 for a flatlander burger and fries on Monday nights! Fries seem to be hand cut and the ciabatta roll the burgers come on is fantastic. Also a huge fan of ½ off appetizers Monday-​Friday from 4−10pm… the asparagus fries with the ranch/​sriracha dipping sauce they come with is amazing. The service is a bit slow when it’s busy, but the food is worth it and I have brought out of town family members here several times. Definitely a good local spot! :)

This is a corner bar, it is a bit dark, has home cooking and a deep fryer, it is a typical old bar. If you have those expectations it is a pretty good spot. If you are looking to get wine, you should probably go to the wine bar across the street and save everyone the hassle.
The people seemed blue collar and were polite and nice when I swing in there midday to catch part of a game. I would definitely return and try their brunch if I am in town again.

So, being in the food service industry myself, I like to think I’m a good tipper. And I tip for waitress service, not for a simple call-​in pickup, because the kitchen staff typically makes more money than the waitstaff.
The last time I got food there, it was a horrible experience. It wasn’t obvious where to pick the food up, staff members kept staring at me and not asking if I needed help — I tried getting the attention of someone but they were «too busy» to help me. When the bartender finally decided to see what the hell I wanted, I made sure to be extra nice because it did seem busy and I just wanted to get out of there.
I paid my bill and went home with my food and ate it. It was ok. I’ve never had anything phenomenal there, or even really good, but the food is fairly cheap and relatively fast. Ok. Fast forward a month. I get my credit card bill in the mail and — surprise! They tacked on a $ 20 tip for me. How nice of them, right? Except 1) I made sure to fill out my credit card slip correctly 2) The bill itself was less than $ 20 and 3) The food probably wasn’t even worth the $ 15 I spent on it.
So, in short:
–Bad service
–Bad food
–Bad ethics
Never, ever, ever even thinking of going there again. I’ll be sure to tell my friends about this sneaky little move they pulled, too. This place is not worth your time or money. I’m kind of mad I spent 5 minutes writing this review, but this is probably the only way I’ll be getting justice at this point. Really wish I could have that $ 20 back instead.

½ price Sunday wing special and sports! good times

McKee’s pub is what it is… A dive bar! But a good dive bar over all!
A few friends wanted to go for a few drinks this weekend and they picked McKee’s. Now I have been here in the past but that was about 5 years ago. I used to come here got a quick bite to eat and drink before meeting up with my friends for our downtown nights out. So not much here as changed over the years.
The best thing going for this bar is the lack of college kids. So by default its not to busy or over ran from what I could tell on a Friday nigh. So its very low key but I like that. It allows you to have a conversation with people unlike a lot of the bars downtown. The locals do show up here and it seems to be a popular hang out for them. However they didn’t bother me. In fact many of them seemed pretty friendly over all.
So for Winooski its not bad at all. I would differently go back to have a beer or 2 again. Even the bartenders are friendly and quick to serve you! So if your in the area and want a drink and some simple bar food check them out.

Good pub grub and drinks. Local color is an understatement to describe this place…

I started working in Vermont in August. I was living in Boston, and would come up every other week. On the weeks I was in Vermont, I made a stop at McKee’s. I love the outdoor seating in the little town of Winooski. I would bring my notebook to practice writing, order a Switchback or a Guinness (or both) and I was set. The grub is good. The service is quick. The people are friendly.
I’ve been inside only once, it was not a busy night, but I enjoyed the atmosphere.
I will be back.
